President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a
national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations
of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.

Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch's
Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming
administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military
assets" to deport the migrants.

"TRUE!!!" Trump wrote.

Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters
office.

"On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American
history to get the criminals out," he said during a rally at Madison
Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue
every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put
these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell
out of our country as fast as possible."

Already, he's tapped several immigration hard-liners to serve in key
Cabinet positions. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was picked to be homeland
security secretary, pending Senate confirmation. Former Acting U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan was named "border
czar."

Homan previously discussed his vision for mass deportations, saying they
would first concentrate on expelling criminals and national security
threats. He didn't rule out deporting families together.

Throughout the campaign, Trump vowed to mobilize the National Guard to
assist with the deportation effort. Experts told ABC News such a move
would mark a fundamental shift for the military, which does not normally
engage with domestic law enforcement issues.

At times, Trump went further, suggesting thousands of troops from overseas
be moved to the U.S.-Mexico border.

There are an estimated 11 million unauthorized migrants living in the U.S.
without legal immigration status. Removing them could cost billions of
dollars per year, according to estimates from the American Immigration
Council.

Plus, mass deportations could have a broader economic impact by resulting
in a loss of tax revenue and labor shortages.

ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz recently
reported from California on the impact Trump's immigration and mass
deportations plans could have on the American agriculture industry.

"If you took away my workforce, you wouldn't eat. If you go into the San
Joaquin Valley and you start doing what you're saying, it's over. The
country will stop, literally stop because the food system won't move,"
said Manuel Cunha Jr., the president of the Nisei Farmers League.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

There will be no "mass deportation."
